Protesters Prevent Melania From Leaving Her Hamburg Residence

Thousands of protesters descended on Hamburg, Germany to demonstrate against this week’s G20 summit, an international meeting of the world’s top economies. While the anti-capitalist activists perhaps had plans to demonstrate peacefully, the situation quickly turned violent as protesters threw rocks, glass, and iron bars at police. Seventy-six officers were reported to have been injured.

The protests became so disruptive that First Lady Melania Trump was prevented from accompanying her husband to Friday’s spousal program, where the high profile couples were invited to a boat ride, lunch and a climate change briefing, according to ABC News.

But, Mrs. Trump was trapped in her guest house. Her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said the situation was “unfortunate,” but Mrs. Trump is “completely safe.”
